Hey I’m Matt Voaden,

A photographer based in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, specializing in weddings, portraits, and cosplay photography.

My love for photography started in high school, shooting black and white film on my dad’s old Pentax K1000. I learned the craft the slow, intentional way — developing film and enlarging prints in the darkroom — and that foundation still shapes how I shoot today. I’m drawn to light, emotion, and storytelling, whether I’m capturing a quiet, intimate wedding moment or bringing a bold cosplay character to life.

My style blends moody, bright & airy, and artistic elements, adapting to each client and story rather than forcing a single look. What inspires me most is that moment when someone sees their photos and says they can’t believe that’s them. Helping people see themselves in a new, confident, and authentic way is what keeps me behind the camera.
